The 2026 Comrades Marathon is expected to be an UP RUN on Sunday 14 June, which will be the 99th running of the Comrades Marathon. The UP RUN starts in Durban and finishes in Pietermaritzburg, with the race distance will be announced later but is usually between 86 & 89km. First run in 1921, this marathon is a personal challenge of mind and body, for which you have 12 hours to finish. The course is famous for endless hills in impressive scenery, as well as camaraderie, unique traditions and its history. It’s an event you will not forget and truly is life changing.

Here at Marathon Tours & Travel you are our number one priority. We recognise that the Comrades Marathon is the pinnacle for every runner and the Ultimate Human Race. Our Head of Product, Marie Howarth, has completed both the Up and Down runs and together with an excellent support team of Comrades runners, coaches and masseurs we offer a wealth of advice and experience to ensure your entire trip is successful and stress-free. Our expert team will be there to make sure you arrive at the start line in good time, comfortably, ready to run and we’ll be there at the finish to transfer you the short distance to your hotel.  Join us and a community of like-minded runners and your biggest supporters on this epic journey, sharing the Comrades journey together.

After Comrades we suggest you add some extra days to your trip and enjoy a holiday in Africa; it’s such a beautiful continent to explore.
